New Clutch Cost

[leelandk]

I don't think there are too many Aveo's out there with more then 200HP, but my friend used that same clutch, he loves the feel of it and it's still holding up pretty well after all the times he's dumped it!

Are you sure you wanna replace it though? "If it's not broke, don't fix it" - It might be weaker, unless your racing and what every last bit of performance you might as well just keep it the way it is for a bit.

Yep, I gotta replace it. Its started slipping/revving in October of 09. And its to the point where I'm afraid its gonna go out anytime now. Its pretty harsh.

Appreciate the help finding the Sachs clutch.

you will like it a lot, less trans slap when in first gear and is really a smooth clutch, I have about 6000 on it

U got lucky that it gave you warning, when mine went, it went zing when I shifted to second gear

You mind me asking how much it cost to have it installed?

Depends on where you go. A good mom and pop shop 6-800 bucks. Mine 750 and they did it in one day. I towed it to the shop in the morning and got it back the next. I bought the parts online and gave them to them.

Get to pick mine up on monday. A local shop installed the clutch, timing belt service (belt, tensioner, idler pulley, and waterpump), and calibrated my tps that was messing up for $638. I already had all the parts, paid around $225. I'm very happy with the price.

[snowmobilejon5000]

Yeah, good price, I would have done mine myself but I have heard too many stories about screwing up one thing then having to pull the trans again. I changed my trucks clutch a couple years back but that was way easier because the whole trans came out with only about 15 bolts and one hydraulic line. Front wheel drive is a whole different story.

You were right about the feel of it. Took some getting accustomed to, it seemed alot more sensitive than my previous clutch. But after a couple of drives, it feels great.
